Solving My Interior Design Dilemma

Not knowing what my interior design style is, several of my friends have suggested I keep clippings in a file folder on décor tips, interior design articles along with clips of rooms and furniture I like from magazines. Having recently inherited so many furniture pieces and styles lately as well as a couple major purchases, I have given up on having any real cohesion. I like all the different eras and styles I have accumulated. I don’t want to give up anything and I certainly don’t want to clutter up my already overstuffed office file drawers with magazine clippings. I am hoping at some point to bring in a pro to help me find a way to make it all work.

Until then, a recent posting on Mark Down Mom, The Bargain Diva blog suggested a new website called MyDecoFile.com. Part of the Domino Magazine, mydecofile.com lets you make your own file with your favorite decorating images, items, styles, etc. You can also browse other users’ deco files for ideas. Perfect for people like me who are bogged down with too much stuff, in need to cohesiveness and design inspiration.

If somebody asked me what my style is I’d say eclectic…. I adore simplistic clean lines and yet lean toward Victorian opulence. I buy white sheets yet I always want the floral and dark paisleys sets.  Color … love it, but a subdued monochromatic room soothes me.   I like almost every style, except 1970’s mod… oops, but I have some of that too!
